PRE-WORK: 
In preparation for the January session:

Bring your company’s values.  If you don’t have company values, come with at least 4 values that you think represent the most important norms, values, and beliefs of your company.

Bring a summary or picture of your business strategy (i.e., your plan for how you are going to achieve your business goals).

Be ready to discuss your answers to the following questions:
  1. Are these still the right values?  If not, why not?  If so, how do you know?
  2. Are the values aligned to and supportive of your strategy?
  3. Are your values clear?  Would a new employee be able to understand what your expectations are from reading them?
  4. Where do your company values “show up?
    • on external website
    • on intranet
    • in hiring
    • in company meetings
    • in talent discussions (e.g., promotion, development, succession)
    • other?
